Title:
Dinobot Slug
Description:
• LEGACY47
• Dinobot Slug (Core Class, 2023)
• 2 of 6: Volcanicus
• TakaraTomy ID number: TL-27
• Accessories: Tail, blaster end/Volcanicus head
• Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Shuhei Umezu and Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy)[7]
Part of the first wave of Legacy: Evolution Core Class toys, ”Dinobot Slug” is a small version of the Triceratops Dinobot, though he is one of the largest core class figures to date. Slug’s dinosaur mode tail detaches to become a weapon in robot mode. Slug is also notable in being part of the first Core Class combiner: forming the upper half of the torso for Volcanicus, identical to fellow Triceratops Kakuryu’s placement for Dinoking. Slug’s weapon splits apart to form Volcanicus’ head and part of his torso.
Due to how he’s designed, Slug is very top heavy, though this can be somewhat mitigated by using the dino legs as heel spurs. While he has a waist swivel, his ”backpack” needs to be unclipped and splayed out to use it.
Slug features a misassembly: both of his thighs are swapped. The side with the slight slope and accurate knee details should be facing forward. As the parts are on ball joints, it is fairly easy to fix.
His instructions also feature an error: The steps for transforming him into Volcanicus’s upper torso fail to show his arms being rotated so they can peg into the torso. Hence, the final step still shows the rectangular pegs sticking out rather than the 5 mm posts.
